“Do You Have Any Challenges?”
Those Were The Words Of Governor Alex Otti After He Suddenly Stopped His Convoy And Walked Into a Military Base Along Ngwa Road During a Routine Inspection In Aba.
“How Are You? How Is Work Going? Is The Commander In?” Governor Otti Asked The Soldier On Duty.
The Officer Quickly Took Him To Meet The Commander, Captain T. Yabiteigha, Who Was Clearly Surprised By The Unplanned Visit.
Governor Otti Said:
“Sorry We Took You Unawares. I Was Just Passing And Decided To Check On You People. Are There Any Challenges We Should Know About?”
Before The Officer Could Say Much, Governor Otti Looked Around And Added:
“I Can Already See This Place Needs Renovation.”
The Soldiers Then Showed Him Their Faulty Operational Vehicles And Poor Working Conditions.
Immediately, Governor Otti Directed That The Vehicles Be Repaired Or Replaced Without Delay And Ordered The Renovation Of The Base, Including Installation Of Solar Lights.
Then Came The Emotional Moment.
Captain Yabiteigha Told The Governor:
“Sir, You May Not Remember Me, But Last Year You Paid My Hospital Bills And Supported The Family Of Our Colleague Who Died During An Attack. You Even Gave Scholarship To His Children. I Have Been Looking For a Way To Thank You For Saving My Life.”
🆘In #DRC, millions of families are running out of options.
Conflict and displacement cut people off from food, while rising costs push basic meals out of reach.
⚠️ Needs are outpacing what WFP can deliver. Urgent support is needed.
